Hello!

What does it mean in the context: He called it in but didn't picked it up. (said by the pharmacists for a patient and his medicine).

Thank you

The patient arranged for his medicine to be available at the pharmacy, but he didn't come to fetch it ?

Sorry P,

One more question. How does it work? The patient calls and orders his medicine at the pharmacy?

I don't know exactly, but I guess if it's difficult for you to walk, or if you live far from the pharmacy/chemist's etc, you phone them to check whether they have the medecine you need. If they don't, they tell you when you can come & fetch it (they'll order it).
